A fantastic little program that automatically draws line drawings, cartoons, paintings and photos from 3D models. Art-O-Matic contains advanced editing tools for images and objects that allow you to get as creative as you want. There are 32 objects (22 are unlocked when you register) that you can use to create images with a variety of colors, patterns, highlights, lines and styles.

Experienced users will enjoy the extended controls over camera angles and movement, lighting, object handling and more, while the novice can feel at ease with the Beginner's Toolbar that can be toggled on and off.

One of the more exciting features that greatly enhances the program's appeal is the option to import object files from other applications, including the Internet, into the camera view, and the ability to export Art-O-Matic images into other image applications and files. If you register the program, you can use thousands of additional 3D objects downloadable for FREE from various Internet-accessible sources that are linked from 3Dize's web site. There is also a Fire & Chrome plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that can be incorporated with Art-O-Matic to create some stunning visual effects.

Think 3D drawing programs are too tough? Here's one that even your kids can use. Art-O-Matic lets you drag-and-drop existing 3D models into your workspace. Then you can rotate and size the image, add lighting effects, adjust bluriness, and more. You're ready to export your creation into your favorite application.
